Book excerpt: When a country is in the midst of a crisis, the people have taken the lead and sacrificed their lives for this country and this people. Those who ate up the country and those who had the country taken away were rulers who wielded power. When Japanese pirates or north barbarians attacked, kings and dignitaries were busy crawling into the mountains to hide or to cross the river and run away their assholes off. It cannot but be a dishonorable act. The people have defended the country. Throughout the country, we will find that the history of local heroes who died bravely while defending their villages is engraved. For example, on the side of National Road 25 passing Hwaryeongjae on Baekdudaegangil, there is a monument to the heroes of the local or the village who died bravely while defending the country. In this way, these grasses, common people have been protecting this country. The Saemaul leaders are the village heroes who fought the enemy of poverty and won. We have known many anecdotes of perfection one good village leader raise the village completely. Record their accomplishments and leave behind to future generations. These are the heroes of our country. This is a famous saying from President Park Jeonghee's handwriting. The records in this book are the stories of the village heroes. At the end of the economic trend briefing session presided over by President Park Jeonghee, the Saemaul leader presented the success stories of his village. Each time the President sobbed as he heard this success. The attendees, including the minister and large corporate presidents, also sobbed, and the conference hall would soon become a sea of tears. These success stories are the story of village heroes who have overcome thorny difficulty, and the local history of the villagers. When I look into this anecdote, it is reminiscent that the English King George II is impressed by the Hallelujah choir when the Friedrich Händel’s Oratorio Messiah is premiered in London and then stood up on the spot. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Saemaul Undong, I rediscovered moving success stories from the dusty bookshelves while writing a separate book 'Saemaul so far'. After rediscovering this amazing story of a hero, I thought it was as important as a history textbook to tell the growing generation how our ancestors made our village and our country prosperous, rather than letting it sit as it is.
